I'm going to live forever.
You are an idiot.
THE NEWS HACK'S CREED, No. 2:
A lie isn't a lie when it tells THE TRUTH.
THE NEWS HACK'S CREED, No. 3:
I've come to realize that the looseness of the journalistic life, the seeming laxity of the newsroom, is an illusion. Yes, there's informality and there's humor, but beneath the surface lies something deadly serious. It is a code. Sometimes the code is not even written down, but it is deeply believed in. And, when violated, it is enforced with tribal ferocity.

Where are the options for smaller, cheaper sets?
I second that important question. (Set includes the required tuner, otherwise it's just a monitor)
Dorm dwellers, RV'er's, apartment renters, homes with kids (Dad has no interest in the purple dinosaur) and such. A one TV home theatre solution is not a solution for a house with a family. A multi thousand dollar set in each bedroom, kitchen, den, living room, etc are [sic] also not a solution.
Just where are the cheap small sets? Where is the over the air demo at the local electronics store? I keep looking. The demo is either for a subscription Satelite or Cable pay TV service, or from an in-store demo loop.
If it won't work in the store, how the heck do I expect it to work at home?
Show me the sets in operation! Don't show me a 5.1 sound system, monitor, tuner package. I have a good stereo. I'm just looking for a few small inexpensive TV's to replace my analog stuff for the local news. Don't try to sell me components. I just want a TV for after analog does dark.
If the sets don't show up, then the Internet will be my TV of the future.
CALLING LORD STRINGERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!
P. S.
I think I'll be holding off on HD until scifi [sic] channel is broadcast in HD.
Well, it IS SLASHDOT.
